*** kexec-tools portion of this patch, kernel portion posted separately *** 

Currently the purgatory code for ia64 has the PAGE_OFFSET hardcoded,
and uses this to perform the equivalent of __pa() on some of the
data contained inside ia64_boot_param.

This is problematic if the kernel (or hypervisor or whatever)
is running with a PAGE_OFFSET different to that which kexec-tools
was compiled with. (purgatory is supplied by kexec-tools).

In order to address this problem, the code below makes
the __pa() translations in the kernel before going into pugatory.
Only the translations that are needed have been made to keep
things simple. But more could be added.

This does solve a real problem when running the xen port of ia64,
as xen has a different PAGE_OFFSET to Linux.

There is also a kernel portion of this patch, which I will
post separately.
